170 Strange Shadows
"Sister! Quiet! Shen Yan'er shouted in the empty courtyard, not hearing the slightest response from the missing person, but alarming the imperial front team guarding the periphery.
After discovering that Yu'er and Jinghao were missing, the members of the royal front team, who had always had cold expressions, also panicked, some hurried to tell Phoenix Ke, and some called more people to help find them.
Everyone turned the three courtyards almost upside down, and still no trace of Yu'er and Jinghao was found. Shen Yan'er was so frightened that her whole body was paralyzed, her frightened eyes wandered around, and she kept whispering the names of the two in her mouth, for fear that something would happen to them.
After Yu'er and Jinghao disappeared, Shen Yan'er's first suspicion was the dry well in the middle of the courtyard where walking corpses had once appeared. But after the incident, the wellhead has been re-covered with stone slabs, and Phoenix Ke has repeatedly promised that there will be no more walking corpses, and Yu'er knows that the dry well is dangerous, so she will not approach at all, and the possibility of Yu'er and Jinghao falling into the dry well is really small.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, there are members of the imperial front team standing guard in shifts, and it is impossible for Yu'er and Jinghao, who do not understand martial arts, to slip away from under their noses. Judging from the current situation, unless Yu'er and Jinghao will fly away, it will never disappear without a trace.
Shen Yan'er, who had no master of the six gods, was helped back into the room by Concubine Wan. Now the courtyard is full of dozens of members of the Imperial Front Team, who are still searching for clues over and over again.
After returning to the room, Shen Yan'er fidgeted, walking around the wall for a while, and then sitting by the window without tears and staring at the members of the royal team who were in a hurry outside the house. No matter how Concubine Wan comforted, Shen Yan'er never let go.
The most calm is Phoenix Nanhua. He didn't say a word, all he thought, occasionally glancing out the window, as if waiting for someone to appear. After a long time, the person he wanted to see never appeared, he finally couldn't help it, and said with a sneer: "In this place where even flies can't fly out, how can two big living people disappear without a trace?" The imperial brother should have received the news a long time ago, but he has not shown up for a long time. There was such a big thing in such a sensitive place as the Hail Snow Palace, but he deliberately avoided us, and there was a good chance that he was the ghost. ”
Based on this alone, it was concluded that it was Phoenix Ke's doing, and even Shen Yan'er, who was extremely anxious, felt that it was too subjective speculation. With the kindness of easing the relationship between her brothers, she wanted to defend Feng Feng Ke for a few words, but before she could speak, Concubine Wan spoke for Feng Feng Ke. "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and even if he receives the news, he may not be able to come immediately. If it was really the emperor's doing, how could the imperial team be so panicked? Besides, the emperor has agreed to see Yan'er and his sister, so he really has no need to take Yan'er away suddenly. ”
Of course, Phoenix Nanhua was not convinced after hearing this, and then argued with Wan Guifei and you sentence by sentence. From the conversation between the two, although Concubine Wan often acts with Phoenix Nanhua, her position is relatively neutral, probably because the friendship between her childhood sweetheart and Phoenix Ke is still there, and she is not so hostile to Phoenix Nanhua.
Such a scene couldn't help but Shen Yan'er recalled what Phoenix Ke said on the roof: Phoenix Nanhua has antipathy and has long been untrustworthy. Could it be that Phoenix Nanhua really wants to unite with Wei Zhenhai to push Phoenix Ke off the throne and replace him?
Later, until the evening, the royal front team still did not find Yu'er and Jinghao. The sun was setting in the west, and it was close to dinner time, so it was inconvenient for Concubine Wan and Phoenix Nanhua to stay for a long time, so they comforted Shen Yan'er for a few words and left with worries.
finally saw Xiao Hei's side, but Shen Yan'er never found a chance to talk to Xiao Hei alone, but listened to the brother and sister bickering for most of the day.

At night, Shen Yan'er lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and her mind kept flashing the dry well in the courtyard of Yu'er and the vicious appearance of the walking corpse, and she scared herself into a cold sweat and trembled all over.
Although she knew it was impossible, except for the dry well, she really couldn't think of why Yu'er and Jinghao disappeared.
Originally, Shen Yan'er still had a slim hope, and she had been longing to see Feng Feng Ke and listen to him personally say his speculation about this disappearance. However, Shen Yan'er waited until the second watch was approaching, and the night was as cold as water, but she still did not wait for Phoenix Ke.
Is he really unable to pull away, or is he deliberately avoiding it? Even Shen Yan'er, who wanted to defend him in the afternoon, was at a loss.
The Imperial Front Team had already stopped searching for Yu'er and Jinghao's whereabouts after evening, and they didn't know what their next plan would be, so was it left to be the point?
The more Shen Yan'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and then she didn't know what was going on, so she got up from the bed and took out the blood jade sword left by her mother from the cabinet and held it in her hand. The Blood Jade Sword and her other luggage were all sent by Gonggong An not long ago.
I know that there have been walking corpses in that dry well, but walking corpses can't climb, and if you just lie down at the mouth of the well and look inside, you shouldn't encounter danger. Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er finally mustered up the courage, clenched the blood jade sword, pushed the door and walked out.
There was no imperial team guarding between the courtyards, but Shen Yan'er always felt a little weak, for fear of alarming the imperial team, so she walked lightly against the wall. Although her heart beat faster with every step, she had no intention of turning around and going back once, because if she didn't see what was going on, she wouldn't want to sleep tonight.
The cool night breeze blew in and the pale white moonlight shone faintly on the silent corridors. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that there is a creepy and weird sound coming from the wind, which seems to be a cry and a roar, vague and inaudible.
Just when Shen Yan'er focused all her attention on the root of her ear, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of her vision. For a moment she didn't see anything clearly, just instinctively shuddered. His gaze seemed to be pulled over, and he instantly locked on the black shadow.
"What, who's ......" Shen Yan'er plucked up her courage and roared.
As a result, a motionless black shadow in the shadows suddenly rushed towards her!
Shen Yan'er was so frightened that she turned around and ran, but the speed of the black shadow was several times that of hers. Shen Yan'er's ears suddenly echoed the words that Phoenix Ke said, "You can't run away from them." It's over, what now? Just when Shen Yan'er looked up to see if there was anything to climb on, her left hand was suddenly grabbed by "something" from behind.
"Ahh
